Introduction: Part One Who is regulating affairs on this earth today – God, or the Devil? That God reigns supreme in Heaven is generally conceded; that He does so over this world, is almost universally denied – if not directly, then indirectly. More and more are men in their philosophizing and theorizing relegating God to […]

WE do not ask: Is Christ your “Savior”?—but is He, really and truly, your Lord? If He is not your Lord, then He is most certainly not your “Savior.” Those who have not received Christ Jesus as their “Lord” and yet suppose Him to be their “Savior,” are deluded, and their hope rests on a

As we launch out into another year, there is little visible prospect of a smooth and pleasant voyage. To the natural eye, the clouds are dark and fierce storms seem imminent. The very uncertainty of what the morrow may bring forth, fills many with uneasiness and trepidation. But how different should be the state of

“In nothing be anxious.” (Phil. 4:6, R.V.) Worrying is as definitely forbidden as theft. This needs to be carefully pondered and definitely realized by us, so that we do not excuse it as an innocent infirmity.

The Mercy of God God’s mercy originates in His goodness “O GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD: FOR HE IS GOOD: FOR His mercy endureth for ever” (Psa 136:1). For this perfection of the divine character God is greatly to be praised. Three times over in as many verses does the Psalmist here call upon the

The Grace of God A perfection of the divine characterGRACE IS A PERFECTION OF THE DIVINE CHARACTER WHICH is exercised only toward the elect. Neither in the Old Testament nor in the New is the grace of God ever mentioned in connection with mankind generally, still less with the lower orders of His creatures. In

The Patience of God FAR LESS HAS BEEN WRITTEN UPON THIS THAN THE OTHER excellencies of the divine character. Not a few of those who have expatiated at length upon the divine attributes have passed over the patience of God without any comment. It is not easy to suggest a reason for this, for surely

The Goodness of God God’s goodness revealed“THE GOODNESS OF GOD ENDURETH CONTINUALLY”(Psa 52:1). The goodness of God refers to the perfection of His nature: “God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all” (I John 1:5).
